In rowing, the :GBR women’s lightweight double are my lock of all locks. Can’t see any way they’re beaten outside of injury

 

will add more later but they’re the first that came to mind

Some sports are more given to 'locks' than others. Rowing is won of the 'lockiest'.

I'd add the :NED in men's team sprint in track cycling. I think one of 'em needs to actually fall off not win, and even then Harrie could probably remount and win.

The :USA in men's basketball will be a hard enough nut to crack, I suspect...

 

After that, you're getting into 'roasting hot favourites but not quite a lock' territory - Men's 4 x 200 freestyle for :GBR can be beaten theoretically by a couple of teams, but it's gonna be pretty bloody tough - remember in Tokyo the new Olympic champ Dean had an absolute stinker of a leg, and they still won at a cantor. They are bringing an identical team back and if anything, Richards and Guy look better than last time. :AUS women's 4 x 100 in same boat...

In tennis, nothing is a given, especially at the Olympics. Lots of upsets occur. 
 

She is the heavy favourite yeah, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see her not win gold (even with her three in a row at Roland Garros, the Olympic venue)

    • Barring any further surprises, which are always possible in Val Gardena, this would be the Czech Republic's first men's victory in the World Cup. In the past, there have been six women's victories and one mixed team victory in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2010.
    • INNERHOFER 5... Franzoni is unlikely to stay the podium. The weather conditions have changed.
    • Insane tragedy , Rob reiner + wife have been killed by their own son in Los angeles 
    • Great start to the weekend for  with a silver for Tabby Stoecker yesterday, then Gold for Matt Weston & Silver for Marcus Wyatt today!
    • Well, I see that the national competition between mixed doubles and also men increased. Also actually amongst women, too. Before it was mostly Kubeskova team that participated in some international events. This year, Synackova team did really well in the pre-qualification just the final qualification was not that good. But curling is about details. Generally, I am glad to see that there is really much higher competition than it was 10 years ago. And seeing Chabickovsky a Zelingerova making it to the Olympics in such a young age can be really promising for their career as curling is becoming more professional, as we see Grand Slams and other big tournaments.    As for now, I think that in Milano Team Klima and mixed doubles can make really interesting results. After all, they will finish in top 10 so just qualifying to the Games is already a huge achievement
